Thanks, I will have to watch this. My great uncle served as a Filipino fighter pilot during WWII but got shot down and captured. He survived the Bataan Death March and lived on to fly for PAL and test pilot. He was killed in an experimental ultralight crash in the late 80s.
KRT_Bong, are you Filipino? Bong was my grandfather's nickname.

No, Bong has been my online Nick since Rainbow 6 and BF1942. KRT was the clan I was in at the time

The only Bong I've known for a long time is Dick Bong the WWII Pacific fighter ace.

He was a childhood Hero, I even once wrote a book report on him in school which I had to do a Book cover on poster board so I drew a P-38 shooting down a zero, the teacher was very impressed. So I chose Bong as my nick.
